| - This place is a great idea--charming exterior, lots of kitschy goodies and imports, delicious dessert pastries, plenty of delectable choices in the deli case, and an incredibly cute seating area to sit down and eat away at your European meal of choice. I will never pass up schnitzel if I see it on a menu, and my mother had gone with a sausage plate. Her sausages were delicious, though I found my pork and schnitzel were a little on the bland side and a little tough. I did however enjoy my giant serving of sauerkraut and potatoes, so yes, all is right with the world. It was pretty busy when I went in there at about 1pm, but I actually didn't have to wait long in the lineup at all, and we found a great window seat right away.
As for the other side of the building, which houses the service cases and a huge selection of imported products, I have to say I had a lot of fun perusing their items and left happy with my purchases. Giant box of Mozartkugel? Check. Kartoffelland Knödel? Check. Hagelslag for my morning toast? Bless the Dutch, and check. All that was missing was for me to have enough money to realistically buy one of those awesome bier steins or a gorgeous handmade cuckoo clock on the amazing wall display.
All in all, definitely check this place out for a tiny taste of Europe in Calgary!
